Case Study: NETGEAR achieves scalable global localization and 62% time savings with RWS

NETGEAR uses a balanced combination of localization services and technology to help the business grow globally

NETGEAR, a global networking company, faced a capacity challenge: a three-person localization team needed to manage 600–800 jobs per year (up to 7 million words) across eight content types and into 10–25 languages. Manual, disconnected workflows would have required four full-time people just to move content through the process, leaving no time for strategy, quality management or collaboration with internal stakeholders.

NETGEAR partnered with RWS and implemented an integrated solution—RWS Translation Services and TMS connected to Tridion Sites and Salesforce, plus translation memory and Language Weaver NMT—to automate handoffs and streamline reviews. The result: scalable localization without hiring, an estimated 62% time saving for the team, 63–77% cost savings from TM reuse, faster delivery (including instant chat translations) and more capacity to focus on strategic, quality and digital-transformation work.
